| Old B&O vs. new Rega P1 It's hard to fit cartridges on the B&O. It only take their own cartridges.Yes, I agree. A technics or Denon will be much better than the Regas. | |
| Old B&O vs. new Rega P1 The B&O is a fine table. I had one a while ago. It sounded light weight as what Johnnyb53 said. The Rega is however a very good stepping stone to get into higher priced turntables. One can use this opportunity to learn about setting up your ow... | |
| Old B&O vs. new Rega P1 I believe so. With the B&O, you're limited to cartridge selection. The tonearm looks flimsy and the platter is very light suspeded on springs. The Rega is a more sturdy turntable with a much better arm. You can play around with different cartr... | |
| My very old MIT Digital Interface has 4 switches. Audio Advisor used to clear them out (8-9 yrs ago). The switches are used to match the impedence of transports and your dac. I have not owned one but had considered one a long time ago.Hope it helps. | |
| Rega spindle too short The Rega spindles were a little short to begin with. If the new platter is thicker than the original platter, then yes, you will be left with virtually no spindle sticking up. If the record can centered and you're not going to use a clamp, it shou... | |
| Turntable mats I have owned quite a few mats out there. My favourite is the Harmonix TU-800EXi. This mat sounds fantastic and miles ahead of the Boston Mat1 which is by itself very good. Right now, my magical combination is the Harmonix on top of a Micro Seiki g... | |
| Bypassing capacitor caps , and caps in General Kondo makes his own caps. That's what he is famous for. If you put other caps into it, it will NOT be a Kondo. V-caps are a good mass market caps. I am glad you have an M7 phono. The caps inside are made by Kondo himself and they are among the bes... | |
| Kinima speakers? The closed shop. It's been bought up by Accusonic of Canada who are still supporting the line. They are built well and sound decent for the price. National Sound of Canada in Toronto is a dealer and has the G1's on sale. Give em a call (416)703-1942 | |
| Exotic turntables. Eye candy Well, you can use anything you wish to build a plinth. High mass is recommended because that is a way to damp off the vibrations. As with all materials, there is a main resonant frequency associated with each different material. This is very impor... | |
| Exotic turntables. Eye candy Albert, Yes, you're right. The SP10 needs a dense and heavy wooden plinth. Baltic birch or maple ply/layers are definitely best suited for the job. Yes, I have seen the Wenge in a wood mill and it is a very nice wood. Somehow, wood adds a nice har... | |
| Exotic turntables. Eye candy Hi Albert, These guys are those from a different camp. I guess highly obsessive. BTW the SP10 MK2 can be a very nice sounding table. What are you going to use as a plinth? Pls let me know how you like the sound.Cheers | |
| Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5? Thanks Johnnyb53, I will work on the OMP10 first and go from there. This is for a system in my den and I was not ready to spend $299 for the stylus.ANyways, cheers everyone and sorry for hijacking the thread. | |
| Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5? I believe I can get a used OMP10 for a good price..but the 40 stylus...WOW! @$299. Was the OMP10 better than what was there? | |
| Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5? Hi Vegasears, What cartridge did you use on it? I want to do it on mine too. Are there any adjustments on the tonearm? Please let me know. I really like this mini turntable. It sounds great as it is but I'd like to squeeze everything I can out of it. | |
| Penny&Giles----where are they? Penny and gilles (P&G) make very high end pots. They are made in the UK. I believe they are still around. Do a google search. The last time I did, they have a wide range of pots available. |
